It's a carbon pan. They cook a lot like cast iron and their upkeep is the same as cast iron. And the rust is the same as cast iron if you don't take care of it. It has a good solid weight to it as well.
It really is an amazing pan if you like carbon steel or cast iron.
The one thing that kept it from being 5 stars is the handle attachment. They ground down the welds, which is great, but they didn't make sure they were filled in completely, so there's a little circular depression at each weld spot which could be a bit more work to clean. I wouldn't even have mentioned it but the rest of the pan is so nice it seems a shame they missed such a small detail.
[EDIT]
This is NOT a heavy pan. If you try to use it at a high enough temperature to cook meat you're almost guaranteed to warp it.
Crepes, pancakes, eggs, warming tortillas, and the like see what this pan is made for. Use it for such and it should last multiple lifetimes (literally).
